Incarnate Page #2

So this is what

Vatican money buys?

Can I offer you anything?

I just need to know, Felix.

Is it Maggie?

Uncertain.

The Church has excluded me

from this one.

Why? Because they can't stomach

the murder of a child?

Or because they're afraid they

can't cover it up this time?

Ember, remember where you are.

And where's that?

With a friend.

Remember the first thing

I taught you

about entering

other people's minds?

Humans are easily blinded

by their needs and desires.

It would serve you well

to remember that.

We each have our methods.

We each have our motives.

This conversation

wouldn't have lasted this long

if you didn't know

it was her.

You know it's her, don't you?

Yes.

But if you haven't spoken

to the Church...

..how do you know?

I want to show you

something.

The door's glass

is four inches thick.

A rhino couldn't crack it.

There are 12 cameras inside and

out, monitored 24 hours a day.

Fantastic. What is it?

I've found

the light agitates it.

Is that a person? Got somebody

f***ing locked up in there?

Remember the incarnate

who disappeared last year?

Luka Rejick.

Sh*t!

This hasn't been Luka Rejick

in a long time, I'm afraid.

What are you doing with him?

They know a lot about us.

Isn't it time

we learned more about them?

Jesus!

Did you know they've tried to

infiltrate our ranks for years?

He told me. He also told me

about the boy, about Maggie.

- That's how I know.

- What am I waiting for?

Don't you want to know

how to beat her?

You know, Ember, sometimes...

..in order to avoid

a fate worse than death,

you must choose death instead.

And thanks to Luka here,

I was able to develop this.

- What is it?

- C-79.

In this vial

is a moment of clarity.

What are you talking about?

It's a serum made in part from

the blood of our friend here.

Should Maggie get the upper

hand, and I hope she doesn't,

this will give you approximately

10 seconds of lucidity

in order to do

what needs to be done.

Inject this and you'll wake up

with just enough time

to end your life

before she traps you forever.

You seriously think

I'm gonna use this?

Look, Felix...

I appreciate

everything you taught me.

But keep your poison.

I'm not planning on dying.

Hello?

Alright, Camilla.

Let's talk.

The boy's name

is Cameron Sparrow.

His parents

just recently divorced.

The mother is originally

from Holland.

She has a restraining

order against the father,

an alcoholic -

he broke the boy's arm.

Does Cameron have any history

of schizophrenia, delusion?

- Any meds I should know about?

- No. Nothing in his records.

The mother heard him scream

in the kitchen.

When she arrived...

she found this.

The boy broke her neck.

Of course, we sent in

the best exorcists

to handle the situation, but...

..they failed.

- How does it transfer?

- Physical contact.

Judging from

its trail of victims,

it can only possess the weak -

kids, the elderly, sick people.

I haven't told the mother about

your connection with Maggie.

Is the boy quarantined?

No-one has touched Cameron

in a week.

- How's the mother's will?

- She's tired.

She's been through a lot. We're

keeping her away from the boy.

I've already answered these

questions a thousand times.

- Who are you?

- Mrs Sparrow...

Just Lindsey, no Mrs.

Lindsey,

we brought Dr Ember to help you.

Another priest. Great.

No, he's not a priest.

He's like a therapist.

I'm not here to treat your son

for mental illness.

- Then why are you here?

- To evaluate whether or not...

Dr Ember has employed

a cutting-edge method

for helping his patients.

He can go places we can't,

get information that'd otherwise

be unavailable to us.

You're here to perform

an exorcism, right?

Let's get this straight off

the bat. I don't do exorcisms.

I don't use religious methods

to treat the symptoms.

I go inside the victim's mind

to treat the disease.

I don't compel these entities

from the outside.

I evict them...

..from the inside.

You evict them?

The entity that is holding

your son has no real power.

It's a parasite.

It feeds off your son's energy.

But in order to do that, it has

to hold him in a dream state.

Even if his eyes are open

and he's speaking,

your son is asleep -

the entity is controlling him.

In order to keep that control,

it has to convince him

his dream is real.

It's holding Cameron by...

..convincing him

he's in another reality?

Yes.

Through suggestion.

It rifles through his mind

and shows him what he wants

most, but it's all a lie.

I tear down the lies.

Once Cameron sees the truth,

the entity loses its power.

What happens to the entity?

It'll try to jump

into the nearest living host.

If it can't find a host,

it dies.

And you've done this before?

Strap her down. Strap her down!

Oh, God.

OK.

Hello, Father.

The boy hasn't eaten in days.

Why don't you take a break?

You look like you need

some rest.

He's OK.

It might be best if you waited

in the living room.

- But I want to see him.

- I know. I know. But...

You have to trust us.

He'll be fine. It's gonna be OK.

This is just an evaluation.

If I can't confirm

this is Maggie, I'm outta here.

Hello, Dr Ember.

You know who I am?

How does it feel?

How does what feel?

To lose the one you love.

OK.

We've established

that you know who I am.

Who are you?

I've been known as Ash.

Others have called me Plague.

After the Great Deluge,

when the angels took

the mortal woman, I was Desire.

Is this fun for you?

Holy water, crucifixes

and idle threats get so...

..dull.

What do you want?

You're gonna have to

try harder than that.

No. I don't have time for this.

Good!

Ah.

So you do remember.

Hey. Hey, hey.

Hey, where are you going?

What about the boy?

No, no, no, no,

no, no, no, no.

Wait.

Is it her?

I know what happened

to your family.

Don't you ever mention

my family.

But if this is an archdemon,

the Church needs to know.

A lot of lives

could be in jeopardy.

Then move out of my way

so I can get my team in here.

Then I'd lock that door,

if I were you.

I'm coming for you.

The Church is pleased

that you have come to help.

Helping? I'm hunting.

Excuse me,

but is this necessary?

Why can I not be

in the same room as my son?

When the sh*t hits the fan,

I'm gonna need everybody in here

out of my hair.

It's safer that way, believe me.

You should see

an image.

Oh, Cameron.

What is all this stuff?

Um...this is what we use to

monitor Dr Ember during dives.

See, each of us

is like a wi-fi hot spot,

and our brains give off

an invisible field of energy.

You see this cloud

right here?

Some people call this

an aura or a soul,

but really what it is is

just a cluster of unique ions,

and each of us has

our own frequency.

So this is Dr Ember's

and this is Cameron's.

You see the black streaks in

Cameron's? That's the parasite.

If a victim is weak, it can hook

right into their frequency.

Oh, God.

We just use this to monitor it
